Summary: This record of the 18th year relates to the founding of an agaram called Śeyyāmaṅgalam with the new name of Ambalattāḍi-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, by Kaṇḍan-Śundaṉ alias Duvarāpativēḷāṉ, for the merit of Śundan-Kaṇḍan alias Duvarāpativēḷāṉ, who was presumably his father. The lands in the village were divided into twenty shares and granted to 20 brāhmaṇas who colonised therein. A tax of one diramam per mā of cultivated land, and no other tax was ordered to be levied on these colonies. The document was caused to be engraved in the temple by Sundaṉ Pagaiveṉṟa-Kaṇḍaṉ alias Duvarāpativēlāṉ.

Language: Tamil (tam).
